UPDATE: What Dugway Sewer construction Glenville residents can expect over the next 90 days

The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District has begun construction of the Dugway West Interceptor Relief Sewer, an extensive Project Clean Lake project we refer to as the Dugway Sewer.

Last month, a community meeting presented the next three months of work in the neighborhood so residents would know what to expect. Here is the presentation, as well as some highlights below.




Road and Lane Closures
The closures identified here began last month and will remain closed until Fall 2016. Area detour routes will be clearly marked and additional notifications will be distributed to residents and business owners as work occurs in their immediate area.
  • East 110th Street between Glenview Avenue and Dundee Drive
  • Intersection of East 109th Street and St. Clair Avenue
  • Intersection of East 109th Street and Elk Avenue
  • Elk Avenue between East 107th Street and East 107th Place
"Next 90 days" refers to April-June 2014.


Equipment and Construction Zones
The Dugway Sewer project includes the use of heavy machinery (excavation and microtunneling equipment, cranes and trucks) to construct the shafts and tunnels required for the project. All construction zones will be fenced and barricaded and the shafts will be covered during non-working hours.

Safety of area residents and our workers is a top priority for the Sewer District and will be taken seriously. However, please be careful while driving and/or walking near the work zones.
We understand the impact this project will have on the Glenville neighborhood and we ask for your cooperation and patience during the process. We strive to be good neighbors during this project and will work diligently to keep any disruption of the community to a minimum.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Sewer District’s Customer Service Department at (216) 881-8247 or leave us a comment below.

Walsh/Super Excavators JV II is the prime contractor responsible for the construction of Dugway Sewer.

About Project Clean Lake

The Dugway Sewer is part of Project Clean Lake, the Sewer District’s $3 billion, 25-year program to reduce the amount of combined sewer overflows that discharge a mixture of sanitary sewage and stormwater into area waterways (including Dugway Brook and Lake Erie) during heavy rains.

Upon completion, the Dugway Sewer will allow the Sewer District to capture and treat 110 million gallons of combined sewage annually, preventing it from entering the environment and negatively impacting the Glenville neighborhood and Greater Cleveland.
